The Friction Pro V2 is the heavier/plowier RPM option on paper: 117 SW, 6.5 TW, same $250 price. If the surface really is the reason to buy it over cheaper paddles, then durability is not a footnote; it is part of the whole value proposition. That is exactly the kind of thing I want the site to revisit instead of freezing the review on launch week.
